was that it would result in more highway deaths by lowering the cost of fuel and thus encouraging Americans to drive more.
Ford and the three other automakers appeared to have found a happy middle ground in the deal they have worked out with California. A significant part of that agreement will see the carmakers move ahead on plans to bring electric vehicles to market. Ford, for one, has committed more than $11 billion to the development of battery-based cars and recently announced a deal to share an all-electric platform developed by erstwhile rival Volkswagen.
For its part, Ford defended its decision to join the California deal, saying, “This agreement with California provides regulatory stability while reducing CO2 more than complying with two different standards,” in a statement. California isn’t the only state that has tried to reach a deal with the auto industry. Late last month Colorado reached a deal with key manufacturers that will see the state adopt California’s zero-emission vehicle rules.
Hey Ford...when can I get that new FORD EXCURSION TURBO DIESEL? (Let other small, 5' tall men drive sardine cans...lol) 500,000 of us wondering -seat 6 -adv electronics -600 hp, 550 torque -built over F450 chassis -18 mpg DIESEL, 6.8 TURBO -Customized Office option -22' rims
Trump and all his rollback will be in the dust bin of history very soon.
Republican President's got us here. ...
Big money in this.
Over 2075 have died on the roads in TEXAS. Ford vehicles are on the top of the list and since the Liberals love BLAMING guns for the killing of others. Using their MINDSET, let’s all blame FORD for the Deaths in TEXAS. Common sense people know it’s the individual that caused this
Okay Ford 👍
It’s state laws that apply to cars brought into their territory for sale. Ford know that it has to comply with state law.
Perhaps, we are getting to the point where these firms being attacked by DT are not going to take it anymore
Attacking an American Company because they the some ethics? Yep sounds like our IdiotInChief
Thank you Ford Motor Company.
This makes me proud to own a Ford.
Ford Suxs Anyway...
thank you, ford!!
msnbc = Fake News
Good for Ford. Don't let a moron erase your gains.
BREAKING: Ford has a brain, President of the US does not.
Trump continues to be an embarrassment and attack American companies. GFY Drumph!
Who knew ppl prefer driving cars with excellent gas mileage
THANK YOU Ford
Automakers want to sell their cars, globally.
Trump is mad because Melania looks at Obama with lust while she looks at him with disgust
Been running this for how many weeks now?
ButtBird for Pervident
Just the California ones.
What is wrong with going further on a tank and paying for fewer fillups?
Lame network. You are finished.
Thank YOU, Ford . You are the leader to follow. What say you ... chevrolet GM
The automotive industry knows the rich people want electric cars. They are faster, quieter, cleaner. Sorry oil industry. First goes the cars, then goes the tar roads. California is working on replacement materials for tar.
Thank you Ford. I loved our 1991 Ford F-250 Long Bed.
Trump is a numnuts
Good for Ford . They were also the only one of the Big Three who didn't ask for a bailout in 2008. 👍
Ford is not telling the truth or MSNBC is lying again
Trump hates (envies) Obama so much he is will to damage the environment which his grandchildren will live in. That is narcissism at an entirely different level.
Good for Ford.
Another example of 45 losing his shit. Ford knows that history will not be kind to the legacy of 45 and want distance from that stain.
It figures. All Trump's 'ideas' are, if not stolen, totally hopeless and the evidence of a sick mind. Running for president, for example. It's not funny any more, Donald! Hey, Donald! Are you in there? Donald? Can you hear me? Who do you think you are? The Pinball Wizard?
It's all about Obama,it always has been,and will continue.
JonUPS_ I think ford is smart. If ford will not buy into California consumer requests of cleaner emissions vehicles and electric cars, Californians will buy auto makers that will.
Good for Ford!
do nor believe the lie that trump will be elected because of the economy trump has tried to destroy our economy doubtful that trump will have 30% of the votes so his crap about his economy are lies
Im glad TheBLUEOVAL Told stump to FUCKOFF
Great job Ford someone should stick up for the environment
Trump says whaaa, pollute more!
Ford is the only of the Big 3 that did not need help during the auto bailout.
remember, this admin can define the minimum requirement & industry can easily outpace the requirement. Industry meets the revised minimum, which every company already does, trump cannot go after them because they won’t give him accolades for doing something they already do.
Obama is so worried about climate change he just bought 50+ acres of beach front property 😂
Thank you, Ford!
our planet is dying - now is not the time to roll back anything - thanks Ford for not caving to this IdiotInChief
FORD engines failing after 18000 miles. Coolant leaking into cylinders on escapes models, and massive oil consumption issues on brand new 5.0 liter f150 trucks. What a shame Ford has become.
Which is reason 741 that I drive a Ford
Is it the love of oil or the hatred of California? Or part of the growing irrationality, and uncontrollable rage, at being defied over anything. If so, it's just another symptom. The elephant in the room the republicans feed but won't talk about.
man, lol, if yall dont understand CO2 build up, then you should watch the movie Apollo 13 again.
Yay ford
So...now what cars are the Fat A$$ Donnie supporters going to buy? They were all buying Fords because of The Obama GM bailout (which was done under Bush). I know... Russian Cars?
Trump is rolling the economy back to pre-Obama era, we will look at job losses, we see jobs numbers from 2018 adjusted of 501,000 less jobs created.
Nobody wants you here dirty trump
That's because clown prince realDonaldTrump doesn't like people who do the right thing.
You go Mr. President, keep doing what you’re doing. If FAKE NEWS publishes what you’re doing and putting a negative spin, you know you’re on the right track
Good for Ford, guess we can tell who the real Americans are
Well I guess I don’t buy a Ford
Stay strong Ford against the moronic attacks by realDonaldTrump . Face it, he is an idiot who goes where the money is, so in this case he is caving to his fossil fuel campaign funding sources. Absolutely pathetic!
It so like a Republican to deny science based climate change but strongly believe in pseudo religion...
That is evidence of Trump being a loose cannon, in over his feeble head.
That’s not an attack. Nbc news sits in the basement to make up anti trump headlines. It’s a joke.
And in other news corporations adjust their product offerings on response to consumer demand.
And so it goes on! Damn the clean air and water regs of the past, damn the CO2 emission standards, damn protecting the arctic & nature reserves from mining, drilling & fracking, damn protecting wildlife & endangered species, in fact damn everything good ever done in the past!
traitorTrump idiotTrump MoscowMitchMcTraitor ivankaTheEvil jaredTheStupid melaniaWithoutClothes
What kind of an idiot gets angry over better efficiency?
Most rational people would commend Ford for going above and beyond, but not President Dip Shit. We are headed for an environmental disaster with this Jag off, and it will be interesting to see who he decides to blame when the shit inevitably hits the fan. Biggest asshole ever !
I hope ppl stop listing to this idiot who doesn't have our best interest in mind....only that he gets his way. I believe that a lot of GOP voters are seeing the harm done to their wallets.
Ford knows where it's bread is buttered: California.
Do a little research and discover why Ford doesn’t want to rollback emission standards........
Tsk tsk Ford
realDonaldTrump defends “regulatory instability while” diminishing America.
It all comes down to his hatred of Obama.
Does Trump have a back up planet he is planning on moving to when this one is turned to dust? The stupidity is astonishing.
Thank you Ford! didn't want to have to trade my car in!
Of he would attack them. They're doing something that has Obama's name attached to it. And we all know how much he dislikes Obama. Or is it because Obama is a liberal? Or is it because Obama is black? All the above?
Trump's rollbacks and de-regulations are not good for anyone and will once bring more destruction to our environment..polluting our air and water.
Every day brings more insanity.
Ford stock chart says Trump is right.
wow, the Republican President attacked a private company for not accepting his help? so much for the GOP being the party of Capitalism. that ended today. maddow Lawrence
Time to buy a Ford and show support for a good citizen company
WestGaylor This nigga is crazy. He was just giving love to Henry. Lol.
People still buy Ford?
Does Trump even know what emission control even is?
Engineer lead time is five years on engine design. Nutso Fatso sits on the shitter making up crap. 25 for 45
Because Ford is responsible and knows what’s right. Trump clearly doesn’t. realDonaldTrump
- Is not usually a Ford supporter, but in this instance, YES!
I REALLY hope America elects a president who gives a damn about climate change.
Trump knows once he leaves office his presidency will be over turned companies know if they support trumps rollbacks the new administration will shut them down Trumps rollbacks gives companies time to convert to globalist regulatory approval Trumps fight against global warming
BrazielCarol Because Ford is full of liberal wackos! Henry is rolling in his grave. CO2 causing climate change is a sketchy science
I understand he is President, but the idea that his desire to overturn all that is Obama,is dangerous and eventually lethal to all .Is there not 1 person that can relay the concerns of the world to this narcissistic self-centred chump.
You go, Ford! I will continue to buy you priducts as long as you stay focused on our shared interests and nit the interests of a delusional President Trump.
About time people stand up to Trump and tell him shut up and stick it sideways
Trump’s deregulation policy is opening the door for industry to ignore harmful practices. By having standards, these are stopped. Regulations are not evil or bad when the protect people & country.
And the next car will be a Ford. Thanks for that direction.
Ford has more sense than to take advice from a man who actually lost money running a CASINO, as well as several other businesses.
So Ford is betting more on the policies of the predecessor, BarackObama, that not only saved the auto industry, but catapulted it into the stratosphere of economic development or for the guy who is driving the train off the rails, over the ditch thru the woods and into the river
Ford and the others see going right for the country, they know they have to make changes for the future
I was thinking about buying a ford truck soon, this pretty well makes up my mind! Good for ford, it’s kinda sad to have depend on corporations to protect us when the politicians won’t.
Well that makes an easy choice... Chevy here I come.
GO FORD! Can we have MORE corporations doing the RIGHT thing, can we?
Thank you Ford
They have already invested billions into technology to move forward. They have been in business for over a hundred years, they know a thing or two.
Trump attacks anyone or any company who does not speak his language. How can he unite this country? Trumpnot qualified to be our president. step down, step down and step down
Trump doesn't care about the FUTURE OF OUR KIDS. He knows he will not live forever. So why worry for the AMERICAN PEOPLE. THE FUTURE OF AMERICA. OUR PLANET. IF TRUMPS BASE DOESN'T CARE EITHER FOR THEIR KIDS FUTURE. FK EM.
The point is most middle class working Americans can’t afford today’s cars. Need 7+ year financing. The obscene higher prices don’t offset the environmental concerns for average Joe. realDonaldTrump is right.
Hurry up, Mr. Stroke, Mr. Heart Attack.
Good for them! They know climate change is real! Unlike some
I, for one, am glad Ford chose to stand up and admit that climate change is a real concern.
Maybe because they don't want to hurt their foreign sales
What Trump doesn't understand is that the automakers gave accounted for the new standards in their business models. It costs them more to do a redesign so they really don't save much if anything.
Everybody gangsta until the president tells a car company that wants to decrease emissions to increase emissions
'The British are attached to being a great power,' Macron said Wednesday. 'The point can't be to exit Europe and say 'we'll be stronger,' before in the end, becoming the junior partner of the United States, which are acting more and more hegemonically.'
